If you choose “United States” as your option under Geography, all U.S. census tracts, or counties, are ranked against one another. Use “United States” for U.S.-wide or multi-state mapping and analysis.
If you choose an individual state, or “District of Columbia,” or “Puerto Rico,” tracts or counties are ranked against other tracts or counties in that state/district/territory.
If you choose Tribal Tracts, the database contains only estimates, percentages and their respective margins of error, and adjunct variables. Tribal tracts are not ranked against each other nor against standard census tracts.
